The article details slate extraction using blasting and steam drills, lifting slabs, and trimming into strips and shingles. It notes Pennsylvania quarries and slate walls, and describes a Pennsylvania factory with horizontal saws, diamond tools, and a rubbing bed for cutting slate, with high costs and cooling water during sawing.
